Police said Daniel Ward, 29, picked up a teenage girl, brought her to South Park in Carlisle and forced her into the back seat.

"Maybe she was scared or concerned for her safety, and that's when the allegations of sexual abuse happened," said Carlisle Police Chief Jason Doll.

According to reports obtained by KCCI, the victim said, "I don't want to do this."

The report stated Ward then locked the doors and sexually abused the girl.

Police said Ward and his victim began chatting online using Kik, a smartphone messaging application.

"It's a floodgate of opportunity for predators to reach out and actually contact juveniles," said Doll.

Doll said his department responded to multiple reports of adults attempting to entice minors through social media this year.

"The problem with social media is you never know who you're talking to, you never know where they are and you never know what information you're giving to them may come back and haunt you at a later date," said Doll.

Parents living near the park said the case is a tragic reminder of how important it is for them to keep a watchful eye over online activity.

"Parents have to really be aware of what their teenagers are doing, who they're communicating with. It's a terrible, terrible situation," said Sue Gladson.

Ward is charged with kidnapping, sexual abuse, enticing a minor and lascivious acts with a child. He remains in the Warren County Jail on a $500,000 bond.
